STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

ELECTIONS MORE APPROPRIATE FOR CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT, NOT “REVOLUTION’’ – PRESIDENCY TELLS GROUP

Following calls circulating on social and digital media, an organisation that calls itself the “Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria” plans a “revolution” march tomorrow, Monday 5th August, with the aim of bringing “regime change” in Nigeria without recourse to a nationwide vote.
The President of Nigeria and his administration respect and uphold the right of every Nigerian to peaceful protest and civil campaign– whether to raise awareness on issues, and even oppose the government. It is the inalienable right of all citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do so.

There is, however, a difference between peaceful call to protest and incitement for a revolution.

The organisation championing this planned action is not fronted by any serious public faces. We call on the sponsors and organisers to have the decency to come forward and make their identity known – out of respect to all Nigerians - so that Nigerians can be fully aware in whose name this “revolution” is being proposed and who the beneficiaries may be.

Less than six months ago, Nigeria held simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections. Both contests were won resoundingly by President Muhammadu Buhari and his All-Progressives Congress party. The campaign was observed, and results were confirmed by international election monitoring groups and observers. The result was even contested by the losing presidential candidate and his party in Court.

The ballot box is the only constitutional means of changing government and a president in Nigeria. The days of coups and revolutions are over.

Those making the “revolution’’ call hide behind the veil of social media modernity. But without revealing the identity of their sponsors this shadowy campaign is no better, and no more democratic, than the days of old.

The President calls on all those who seek to use and hide behind everyday citizens to attain power through undemocratic and violent means, which has been alluded, to come out clearly and be identified. They should lead their march in person. Only then will they begin to have the right to call themselves leaders before the people of Nigeria.

Weyrey people

Don't mind Sowore.

You participated in an election and performed woefully.

A few months later you embark on a revolution campaign.

Who does that?

Foolish pple, apc is a scam govt free sowere now

God bless His Excellence, President Muhammadi Buhari (GCFR)





Same Sowere the electorates rejected at the polls while going head to head for two Fulani men. His Excellence made a brilliant statement, knowing full well that their brains will be re formatted and re bought in 2023.


Tell me about a confused lots in God's creation. Nigerians are Number 1

Since election in our beloved country is not free or fair, nor is it a representation of the people's choice, what other option is left?
Things keeps going from bad to worse, do we just sit down, fold our hands and watch?



Please I'm just asking a question nobody should quote me unnecessarily abeg

You are tooo tooo funny. It is Buhari-APC that is performing "woefully" and made Nigeria poverty capital of the world. Europe laughs at Buhari because despite his position he can't even get any hospital to work for his own medical needs. Buhari goes down in history as yet another Foolish African leader, the monkey type that Reagan was telling Nixon about. A Revolution can be violent or non-violent. Revolution = Reformation. But corrupt Nigerians are scared that their hustle will end... Ha ha. Nigeria is going to change. That is certain. Sowore is a hero, and a man who means well for Nigeria.

So Sowore attempts to be president - there's all likelihood you didnt vote him, and after losing he remembers he owns a red beret?

Sowore is a misguided typical nuisance. Let him face the full wrath of the law

Even though I can never support any Sowore of a guy, but then, which of the election do u say was resoundingly won by Buhari & APC?
Resoundingly won indeed & the winning is being contested in court
Abeg park well no be election matter we dey talk now Mr. Garbage shehu okay!

Which Election? Election wey una thief.

Yoruba nation wants presidency in 2023, they need it without stress or competition..

They're staging a revolution..because they know igbos hate injustice.. they're using their sophisticated nature to robe Nigerians into their agenda ...and then abandon them... calling it igbo revolution.. they will tell you via press that the southeast hate Buhari.. they will even justify their ommision by claiming osibanjo is the second in government and TINUBU is the next....why do they need it...

Same will turn and call others .....not being political..and their same press will mock you ..while campaign for TINUBU..

Every igbo should face his business and make the best of the day..
Don't be decieve by this treachery...

Allow them to carry dia cross ....

Some of them are already tagging it igbo revolution...

Please understand this...

Who gains after the revolution...

TINUBU has chances at the president...
Same with osibanjo..
Same with the north...

So why and how do you think..that an average westerns will support a revolution that will make them lose all..

Make igbo and other tribe use dia sense...

Who gains in a revolution....
